An elected NHS, police bosses going to prison if they do not prosecute certain criminals, and an Irish policy that could force soldiers back on to the streets of Belfast.

Anne-Marie Waters only founded the party in October, but was keen to give their views on a range of topics, beginning with Brexit where she wants a “complete withdrawal” from the EU, regardless of the cost.

Ms Waters, who was born in Dublin but considers herself British, said: “I’d rather not have a hard border with Ireland. But if Ireland continues to have so much immigration then we have to have a hard border.

“It’s Ireland’s fault.”

Ms Waters added: “The people in Northern Ireland will have to deal with that. And to me it’s the most difficult element (of Brexit).

“It could do real damage. It could bring back memories of soldiers on the streets again.

“And it could reignite the demand for a united Ireland.”

Closer to home, Ms Waters said she wants a review of bureaucracy across the NHS, although she was not clear which organisations would or would not be included in the review.

When pushed for detail she said: “Our job is to point out the injustices and wrongs.

“Then people who know these areas can do the reviews.”

She added: “Let’s think about an elected NHS, starting with the clinical commissioning groups, and eventually the hospital chief executives.”

For Britain also call for direct democracy in policing.

Their manifesto calls for police commanders to be “accountable for any failure to enforce the law,” and if they are found to have not done their job they could be fired or even jailed.

She had no positive words about Henry Bolton, who beat her in the leadership race only to lose his role in disgrace in February.

Ms Waters said: “That gave me a sly little grin and snigger.”

>Anne-Marie Waters on... Milton Keynes

Ms Waters was in Milton Keynes to meet local supporters and potential converts.

Although she did not know the exact number of For Britain members in the city she said it was “definitely in double figures”.

Ms Waters, who stood for election as a Labour Party councillor in 2010, twice tried to be shortlisted as a Labour Parliamentary candidate after that, and later joined UKIP before forming her own party, said: “I’ve been standing on this platform for a long, long time.”

For Britain will hold another public event, on Saturday (March 17), at a venue which will be publicly announced on Friday.
